Lot 159

French, 20 mm, 4 g, circa 1850
An extravagant pocket watch model for a noble dollhouse of the 19th century
Case: gold. Dial: enamel.
This is a finely made mock-up pocket watch with a real enamel dial that has actual hairline cracks; however, the hand is only painted on and the model has no movement. Nevertheless it is a pretty plaything that even comes in a gold case and was lovingly put together as a gift for a precious daughter.
